7-21 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ayoob ibn Nooh, on the authority of Abdullah ibn al-Muqayrih, on the authority of Mu’az ibn Muslim, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), “Never abandon reading the Al-Ikhlas and the Kafirun Quranic Chapters in the following seven instances: in the two units of recommendable (Nafila) prayers before dawn prayers; in the two units of recommendable (Nafila) prayers at sunset; in the two units of recommendable (Nafila) prayers after the evening prayer; in the first two units of the night prayer; in the two units of Ihram prayer; in the two units of the morning prayer; and in the two units of the Ka’ba circumambulation prayer.”The compiler of the book - may God be pleased with him - said, “
The instruction above for reciting the above-mentioned two Quranic Chapters in these seven instances is a recommendation. It is not an obligation.”
7-21 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أيوب بن نوح، عن عبد الله بن المغيرة قال: حدثني معاذ بن مسلم، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
لا تدع أن تقرأ قل هو الله احد وقل يا أيها الكافرون في سبعة مواطن: في الركعتين قبل الفجر، وركعتي الزوال، والركعتين بعد المغرب، والركعتين في أول صلاة الليل وركعتي الاحرام، وركعتي الفجر إذا أصبحت بها، وركعتي الطوافقال مصنف هذا الكتاب رضي الله عنه: الامر بقراءة هاتين السورتين في هذه السبع المواطن على الاستحباب لا على الوجوب
